        Comments about The North Face Apex Bionic Vest - Men's:

        Like the wind protection, but the collar chafes your face when you have it slightly opened. Needs a little bit of fleece around the collar to soften when rubbing. Otherwise, I like it. Used it for downhill spring skiing @Durango Mountain and it kept me warm enough when the sun was out.

          I really love this vest, I was looking for a replacement for some older fleece vests, this fit the bill and fits nicely under other jackets for layering if the weather is colder. I have not found anything to downgrade this vest.

            Comments about The North Face Apex Bionic Vest - Men's:

            Received the vest in just a few days from ordering it. I bought it for my husband who couldn't believe that it was exactly what he was looking for -- a lightweight, yet warm fleece vest that fit well and not bulky. It is well designed...enough pockets on the outside and a drawstring at the waist to pull in should he need it. The fact that it is also windproof is a plus in the northwest winters. I just wish it had an inside pocket for a billfold or small keys.

              Comments about The North Face Apex Bionic Vest - Men's:

              I use this as a middle layer while snowshoeing. It works well at keeping me warm, and the draw string at the bottom works well for adjusting temp. The pockets are ample in size and the zippers/seams are well constructed. Mositure wicking is adequate and it is lightweight/non bulky allowing easy movement.
